Which card allowed a 3yr old?

Opened an account for my 14-yo son couple weeks ago and deposited extra $200. He started making very frequent trades (buy-sell stocks), and already made more than $100 from some penny stocks. My questions:

1- Any gift-tax implications if I deposit more money to his account (he asks me to deposit all his allowances etc. to his account)?
2- I believe I'm responsible to pay taxes on his profits if it exceeds a certain limit? Would it be an issue to track his transactions etc. when calculating the taxes if he keeps making multiple trades every day?

1) IRS gift tax exclusion limit is $17k for 2023.. think you'll be okay.


2) this is what their FAQ says about that:
Who is responsible for taxes or fees associated with the Youth Account, my teen or me?
The funds in the account belong to your teen. Both you (parent/guardian) and your teen should consider the tax consequences of funding the account. Earnings on the account may require your teen to file a tax return and pay taxes on those earnings, or, if you and your teen meet certain requirements, you may elect to include such earnings on your (parent's/guardian's) tax return to pay the applicable taxes. Additionally, funds used to open the account may be subject to gift taxes if given by you (parent/guardian) or other third party. This is only a summary of some of the tax implications of opening a Youth Account. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the federal, state, and local tax consequences and/or potential impact to future student aid by opening an account with respect to your and your teen's personal situation.


Also, if your child trades often, they might want to look into and learn about possible trading violations: https://www.fidelity.com/learning...violations

Mine still hasn't been funded by the $50.

Did you guys have to add your own funds first to get the $50?

I called twice already. Unlocked last time I called (they got the SSN/etc. pictures but hadn't checked a box yet) and they then said ten more business days. That was three weeks ago.

Will call again next week.

It says one offer per customer. In this case is the child the customer or the adult? Can I open one for my child on my Fidelity account and have my wife open one for the same child on her Fidelity account and have my child get 2 accounts with 2 bonuses?
From the T&C's:

This offer is nontransferable, limited to one account per individual, limited to $50 per teen.

What fees? Have seen none.

I've had just about every account type imaginable (brokerage, IRA, 529, etc) with Fidelity for many years, and have never had a problem with fees.

Great if you start when kids are in preschool (so your cash value might be worth something), and you don't mind hassle of taking a loan against your policy value to get the college money out, and if you're talking dollar amounts that actually pay for college.

Two kids in-state in my state for four years, tuition plus housing plus food, is easily $250k when you're done. A kid that is a kindergartener now will be twelve years away from starting college. At even 5% a year cost increase over 12 years, two kids may be $500k.

529 plans are an easy way to go. If a kid doesn't go to college, that money can be moved to a relative, or any descendant. Key to any solution is to realize how much it will cost (if you decide to fund it), and start saving/investing when they are born. Bonus if you are in a state that offers a tax deduction up to some amount for contributing to a plan sponsored by your state.


As an aside, claiming an insurance company "savings" product is better because something else might trap your money is hilarious. No one buys these products, they are sold these products.

Either way, less people are going to college. If my kid chooses not to then a 529 is a waste.
You can roll 529 to IRA when your kid reach 18. if he or she not using it. You can get tax saving for yourself now and future saving for your kid.

it's an investment account and has core position of SPAXX @ 4.97% right now.

I'm still trying to figure out how to turn off overdraft for debit card and allow one way transfers only to a savings acct but not from savings account.
